SUPPORT
When you are running a nonprofit, every dollar counts, every minute matters, and every person on your team is giving everything they have to make a difference. The last thing you need is slow computers, security scares, or an IT problem that shuts down your whole operation. That is why so many mission-driven organizations across Connecticut rely on dedicated IT support for nonprofits in Farmington, CT, to keep things running the right way. The Walker Group has been serving nonprofits right here in Farmington for over 40 years, bringing friendly, practical, and budget-conscious technology support to organizations that are doing real good in the world. We do not believe nonprofits should have to settle for second-rate IT just because they are not a large corporation with a massive tech budget.
Complete IT Services Built Around What Nonprofits Actually Need
We offer a wide range of managed IT services that cover every part of your technology from top to bottom. Pick what you need, skip what you do not, and let us build a plan that fits your team and your budget perfectly.
Fully Managed IT Services: Think of us as your entire IT department. We proactively monitor, manage, and maintain your whole technology environment so issues get caught and fixed before your team even notices them.
Managed Help Desk, OnCall Support: When someone on your team hits a wall with technology, help is just a call or click away. Our OnCall specialists are real, friendly people who get problems sorted quickly, no ticket queues, no hold music marathons.
Network Support Services: A reliable network is the backbone of everything your nonprofit does. We design, support, and maintain your network infrastructure, including business WiFi and stable internet connectivity, so your team stays connected and productive all day long.
Managed Security for Workstations and Servers: Every laptop, desktop, and server your team uses is a potential target. We lock them down with enterprise-grade security tools that run quietly in the background, keeping threats out without slowing your people down.
Managed Firewall: Our managed firewall service creates a strong, always-on shield around your network. We handle all the configuration and ongoing monitoring, so you never have to worry about what is trying to get in from the outside.
Backup and Disaster Recovery: Data loss can happen in a heartbeat, a power surge, a ransomware attack, or an accidental deletion. Our backup and recovery solutions make sure your information is always safe and can be brought back fast, keeping your operations moving no matter what happens.
OnPoint Remote Monitoring: Our OnPoint platform watches over your systems day and night, spotting small warning signs before they turn into real problems. It is like having a security guard for your technology who never takes a day off.
Microsoft 365 Implementation and Consulting: Many nonprofits qualify for free Microsoft 365 licensing, and we help you get it. Then we handle the full setup, email, Teams, SharePoint, and everything in between, so your team can collaborate easily from anywhere. We also set up Microsoft Teams phone systems and conference room solutions for organizations that need polished communication tools.
Cloud Solutions and Secure Remote Access: Whether your team works from the office, from home, or out in the community, we build the cloud and secure remote access setup that keeps everyone connected to what they need, safely and reliably.
Cybersecurity and Compliance Consulting: Nonprofits dealing with health data, financial records, or government funding often have compliance requirements they need to meet. We help you navigate HIPAA, NIST, and other frameworks in a way that makes sense, protects your organization, and does not overwhelm your staff.
Hardware and Software Procurement: Need new computers, licenses, or equipment? We handle procurement for you, finding the right products at the best prices so your budget goes further and your team gets what they actually need.
Exclusive Benefits We Bring to Nonprofit Organizations

Nonprofit Rates and Discounts: We offer preferred pricing on all of our IT services for qualifying nonprofit organizations. We know your budget is built around your mission, not your overhead, and we price our services with that in mind.
Technology Grant Assistance: Many nonprofits miss out on technology grants simply because they do not know they exist or how to apply. Our team helps you identify and pursue grants that can cover IT costs, hardware, software, security tools, and more.
Free Microsoft 365 Licensing Support: Nonprofits often qualify for free Microsoft 365 through programs like TechSoup. We walk you through the qualification and then handle the entire setup and rollout from start to finish.

End-User and Volunteer Training: We offer practical technology training for your staff and volunteers so everyone feels confident using the tools your organization depends on, not just the tech-savvy folks.
